In my town, I can go out in a cotton dress, flip flops, no jewelry, and someone will ask me what I am so dressed up for. I'm talking about a summer dress from somewhere like The Gap. I like wearing dresses. I like looking nice. To me this is not dressed up at all. It irritates me when I get asked what I am dressed up for. It's as if only jeans, yoga pants, and sweats are acceptable. Dress = fancy. I also never wear heels with a dress for this reason. Dress + heels= extremely formal occasion. I will wear heels with my jeans and even that I barley ever do anymore.
I witnessed this happen to another girl last summer. She looked at the asker and snarked back, "Oh, I'm not from here and this is just how we dress everyday."
So, what is considered dressed up where you are from?
